All Articles: Disgaea Dimension 2

It’s another big day for the PlayStation Store as Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness, Just Dance 2014, and F1 2013 are now available to download… on the same day as they’re available in stores. Interstingly, Sony’s biggest October release for the PS3, Beyond: Two Souls, is not available on the PSN in conjunction with its physical debut.

Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness is a strategy RPG and the first direct sequel to the PS2 cult classic Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (a PS2 game that is also available through the PlayStation Store). Meanwhile, Just Dance 2014 and F1 2013 are the latest games in the annual dancing and racing franchises.

A ton of other games are available to download today, and you can get all the details on them after the break. And don’t forget, the PlayStation Blog has a complete rundown of this week’s new game add-ons. (more…)

And if you want to go REALLY out there, NIS America will release Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness for the PS3. The latest game in the insane strategy RPG franchise is a direct sequel to the to the first game in the series, Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, which should please its many fans.
